'W, had been partially restored. flint glass manufacturers and the representatives of the glass- workers have been in conference several days at Plttaburg. It was Just a preliminary conference such as is held every year to arrange for regular wage conference, but it closed the Thos. Smart, of Alton, represented the workmen, and Qeo.

M. Levls, superintendent of the Illinois Glass Company, represented bit company in the preliminary conference. It is the flnt time in years A settlement of the wage scale was made at tbe flnt conference. Since 1893, when the panic struck country, wages of the have been ott. When tbe annual wage conference was held that year, a cut of 18 per cent was demanded and incited by the manufacturers.

It took the men's iSreath, It was so sudden, but final retttlt was that after several confer- enitoai and a long delay In startflng the fact the Illinois Glass got underway about the middle ot October year. Tbe cut in wages affected every employe of tbe Illinois Glass the bbwers to the mold boj At evei 7 conference since the reduction VI the men have steadily demanded raise to the old scale of wages and ito manateotnWrs have steadily pernuded them to wait until some other it.toe. During ipait two years the glass IcdnntrjXJJeis'had an'-nnnanal degree of prospsrltyN? 11 local industry ftas far more OriV" than can be filled and there -is talk a summer rnn for tbe flint lu such a state of prosperity ees thought they were entitled to a restoration; of the i old wa'ge scale. Tbe manufacturers agreed to give them a raise of nine per cent. Tbe conference closed Saturday and the result was home by the representatives of both parties in the conference.

By the new wage scale, to be in ef feet the next he-flint glass blow- era will receive 8 per cent off the '83 scale for all ware less than 8 oc. ware and 9 per cent off the list for ware 8 onnoea and larger. The scale last year was IS per cent and 18 per cent off on the same GREEN GLASS WAQB 8CAl4 The green glass- workers also are represented in a preliminary conference at Pltubnrg. The wage scale is thti subject of discussion in this conference also, and tbe men are de mandingtbat they receive tbe same scale of wages they received npto 1893. from PIttsburg received np to Monday morning indicated that the green glass wage scale would, not be dispoied of so easily as the flint scale.

The conference held at $itts- bnrghaa been fruitless and unless a final conference was called for today, nothing could. be accomplished until later in the season. Tbe nature of the disagreement could not be learned, as the local office bad not been advised as to full particulars. Mr. Frank Levls stated today to, Mr.

George Levls will be home Tuesday morning and that nothing had been accomplished so far as known. The early settlement the flint glass manufacturers in excellent condition. It is said tbat some tot tbe factories will rnn all summer. Some flint houses will be rnn tbe early part of the summer and others later, so that the big plant will be working partially all season. The green glass-workers have refused to forego their anmmer atop up to this Urns and It is possible tney may refuse to work.

The number of green glass Workers is nearly 800, whIU there ar about 125 flint blowers. Work will be resumed next September in good time, for tbe first time since tbe wage scale reduction went into in 1893. PAINTS.
